DAVAO CITY, Davao
— Air Supply is coming back in Davao City to do a concert, with the title of "Air Supply Live in Davao". It's been 4 years since the last time the duo singers performed here in the City. The venue of the concert is in USEP Gym, Obrero, Davao City on Nov. 20, 2012.

With their heavily orchestrated, sweet ballads, the Australian soft rock group Air Supply became a staple of early-'80s radio, scoring a string of seven straight Top Five singles. Air Supply, for most intents and purposes, was the duo of vocalists Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell; other members came through the group over the years, yet they only functioned as backing musicians and added little to the group's sound. Hitchcock and Russell met while performing in a Sydney, Australia, production of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1976. The two singers formed a partnership and with the addition of four supporting musicians - keyboardist Frank Esler-Smith, guitarist David Moyse, bassist David Green, and drummer Ralph Cooper - Air Supply was born.
